The poet’s way

 

The clock chimes,

Throwing seconds into,

The ocean of time.

While I sit with pen in hand,

Pondering over words that rhyme.

 

 

Thoughts come and go,

Yet apposite words refuse to flow.

I delve deep, deep and deeper,

Into the abyss of my mind,

To cull words that I strive to find

 

Wordworth,Longfellow,Keats and the rest ,

Have before me put themselves to test,

In giving off their best

Perhaps by worshiping the Muse

In nature’s vision their creativity use

 

 

At last the sun has sunk beneath the russet sky,

Tapping the poet concealed in me

As fleet-footed time flies by
